Massage & Bodywork by Richard

Touch Is A Powerful Tool

Overview

With my extensive experience and training since 2002 you know you are in great hands.

You can expect a tailored massage, with pressure adjusted to your comfort level, and a fully present therapist who truly cares about you and your path to healing. My non-threatening, warm, caring personality also makes my massage perfect for the newcomer as well.

Regardless of your size, age, sexual orientation, or status, ALL are welcomed...More.

My massage sessions can be customized to your specific needs and requests.

Calling or texting is the surest way to successfully schedule time with me.

In 2002, I attended the renowned Desert Institute of the Healing Arts in Tucson Arizona. The school provided me an intensive 1000 hour program in massage therapy and bodywork. Upon graduating and receiving my license in the state of Arizona, I began working at local spas within the Tucson Arizona area (Hashani Spa at The J W Marriott Starr Pass, Canyon Ranch, Miraval, Elements Spa at The Hilton El Conquistador) later Scottsdale Arizona (Golden Door Spa at The Boulders). Here at these spas, I gained invaluable training and experiences. Also while building up my private clientele.

2014 was bittersweet for me, I moved back home to El Paso Texas to be closer to family (Sweet) but I moved away giving up the spas that I fell in love with and all my personal clientele within the Tucson and Phoenix areas and all my friends as well (Bitter). Starting over was a bit scary but things have fell into place and it is a great place that I am in. I have found a great full-time job at a local pain management clinic (clinical/therapeutic massages) and a part-time job at a gym (therapeutic and pampering massages).

I have created a tranquil and inviting environment, where my clients are able to relax comfortably. Soothing music, pleasant aromas, and heated massage table further enrich the experience.

Upon arriving we will first discuss your needs and expectations for the session, as well as what form of massage you would prefer and determine how best to work with you. As a professional, discretion and confidentiality are of the utmost importance and assured. Cleanliness and proper hygiene are required before the massage. If you do not have time to shower before your appointment, a shower is available upon request before and/or after your session for your convenience.

Once we are ready to begin I will leave the room to allow you to get undressed and set for the massage. I provide draping for those with modesty concerns and/or who chill easily. Draping is a method of using a sheet or towel to cover the client except for the areas being massaged. Ultimately it is of utmost importance to me that you feel safe, secure, and comfortable.

I use a fine therapeutic massage creme that contains nourishing plant oils and natural emollients. The creme contains Arnica Montana that helps provide temporary relief of sore muscles and stiff joints. In addition, the creme is well absorbed, does not leave a greasy finish, and is hypoallergenic. During the session I want you to please feel free to communicate to me your needs, what you like or do not like at any time. Please let me know if pressure is too much or too deep, if you need more pressure, you are getting chilled, need to use the restroom, need a sip of water etc. It is my goal to provide a private, safe, and caring place, where you are comfortable to let go, relax and unwind. I seek to work from the heart and spirit to meet your individual needs:

• Whether you are seeking massage simply to relax and unwind. • Whether you are an athlete or fitness enthusiast seeking sports massage to enhance performance and recovery • Whether you are seeking intensive, deep tissue/neuromuscular therapy for chronic pain and tension, • Whether you are suffering from pain, emotional or mental problems and are seeking touch to increase the healing potential of the body and soothe the soul, • Whether your needs simply needs to be touched and have someone unconditionally nurture and care for you,

Thank you for your interest, and I look forward to working with you soon!

By Retired Military in Lubbock, TX

My first visit was a couple years ago after trying a couple of other "real" masseurs which were ok but it was quickly apparent that they were not properly trained and licensed. This masseur is a true professional and I try to book him every time I return to El Paso. Give him a try for your next massage, you'll be glad you did!

Booked Richard for a second session while on business travel. Had suffered from sciatic back pain, Richards deep tissue bodywork during an in call massage earlier that same week had resulted in real relief. I scheduled a second session this time as an outcall at my hotel. Had continued pain reduction as well as an excellent relaxation/stress relief massage session. I will definitely be scheduling another session on my next business trip to Do Paso.He knows how to hit all the right spots.
